Steve Bloomer was host for CBC-TV's Saturday afternoon natural science series, This Living World, designed for young and old.

This Living World was the English-language version of a CBC-TV French network series called La Vie qui bat. The program included demonstrations in the studio, with live animals, and filmed inserts depicting animals in their natural environments.

Steve Bloomer was one of the reasons I went to school to become a wildlife biologist. In 1962 I was one of the weekly winners... Steve mentioned my name on television (Sault Ste Marie, Ontario)and said "Hi ya, Pete." I waited by the mail box for days waiting for my pocket microscope to arrive. Exploration of the outdoors began in earnest at that point in my life.
